    I called last week about food stamps was told they would mail me an application. I have not received it in the mail yet.

    I received a letter about a food stamp card due to my kids having free reduced lunch at school. Was wondering when will families be starting to get them for the summer.

    I'm looking to get assistance for food and medical.

  • 2022-12-28

    I tried to visit website linked above and it did not go to a web page. I need assistance with: 1) COMPASS which keeps telling me I am locked out but I have repeatedly used my proper USER and PW??? 2) Need confirmation my BENEFITS application I filled out online --got a confirmation email Nov 20-2022 it was submitted -- BUT never got confirmation it was accepted??? 3) My concern is I got a text today (908) 319-8009 reminding me I had 5 days to submit the above named application I already submitted on November 20-2022 online. (The one time COMPASS login actually let me log in?! 4) I have 3x in the last 2 years filled out the ACP application--submitted proof of SNAP and MEDICAID coverage --All I keep getting back is "need more info"-- but that is ALL I need to qualify? I got so frustrated by the process that HAS a glitch that I --STOPPED TRYING-- i have been paying for my internet from what is becoming more limited savings. I HAVE NO INCOME. But I just got the new invoice from Blue Ridge and it jumped from $50 / month to $80!!! Please help me to understand what MORE ACP could possibly need from me than what I can prove I scanned and sent to them in email. I need the $30/month internet savings. Thank you
